Hey, ive just recntly bought myself my very first prelude.

I was just wanting help on what type of prelude it is... eg JDM etc
From what i know it is a 1992, vtec h22a, 4ws. it came stock with folding mirrors and the 4ws.
Im only asking because from what ive read they didnt make them 4ws AND vtec

Any info would be greatly apreciated thanks

they actually didnt even make Vtecs in 1992. Yours would have to be a swaped car. Does the 4ws work on swapped cars? I have heard it doesn't. from what ive heard, it is something programmed into the ecu.

eh, what do I know, I am as new to this as anyone. welcome, and remember, whatever you think you know about hondas, throw it out. so far these seem pretty different from my other cars (00 Si, 92 EG B16 turbo, 04 S2k, and 07 Fit -- even though the Fit doesnt really count, its in a class of its own

)

your car is a bb4, and to see if its vtec show us the motor, your fenders look jdm(sidemarkers)

ps from what i see, your car looks very clean.

ok, camera is missing in action atm...
but it is very definitely a vtec (love the kick at 5000rpm

)
and it has "E-BB1" and a hole lota jap on a plate in the engine bay.

Yes it does. You heard wrong. The 4ws system is completely independent of the motor/ecu.

makes sense, and i thought it would be.

congrats again on a cool car.

heres a pic of the motor

SNsLude · 01-10-2008, 03:10 PM

if it's a 92', def swapped. If the engine block just has the 4 digit serial than its jdm. If it has the 4ws, the stock 4ws ludes had its own ecu unit in the trunk i believe.

umm, one more question. i can get a gizzmo vtec controller very cheap thru a friend... it only adjusts the point at which vtec kicks in, was wanting to know if i would need to change anything else in my setup for it to work...
thanks

^don't buy it

its a waste to just change the vtec point, you need timing + fuel as well

ludenz · 01-11-2008, 10:23 PM

sweet as...
thanks for that 1
